Heart Rate Training Components

Resting heart rate and maximal heart rate are two of the very important components of heart rate training. But do you know that heart rate recovery is just as important for measuring cardiovascular health as the first two factors? If heart rate recovery is abnormal, it is a sign of reduced parasympathetic reactivation. So, as important as it is to aim for a healthy resting heart rate, it is perhaps even more important to ensure adequate heart rate recovery rate.
